Grammar Breakdown

Facciamomoltisport

1

Facciamo (fare)

‘Facciamo’ is the first‑person plural present indicative of the verb *fare* (to do / to make). It is used for actions you and others perform together.

2

molti (adjective)

‘molti’ means ‘many’ and agrees in gender and number with the noun that follows; here it is masculine plural because *sport* is treated as a masculine plural noun.

3

sport (noun)

‘sport’ is an indeclinable noun borrowed from English; it can be used both as singular and plural, but with a plural adjective like *molti* it clearly means ‘many different sports’.

Common Mistakes

  • Faccio molti sport.

    ‘Faccio’ is first‑person singular; the sentence needs the plural ‘facciamo’ to match ‘we’.

  • Facciamo molti sporti.

    ‘Sport’ is indeclinable; do not add the -i plural ending.

  • Facciamo molto sport.

    ‘Molto’ is an adverb meaning ‘a lot’; you need the adjective ‘molti’ to modify the noun.

Alternatives

  • Pratichiamo diversi sport.

    We practice various sports.

  • Facciamo diversi sport.

    We do different sports.

  • Ci dedichiamo a molti sport.

    We devote ourselves to many sports.

Cultural Tip

In Italian the most common collocation is *fare sport* (to do sport). When you want to sound a bit more formal or specific, you can use *praticare sport* or *giocare a* followed by the name of the sport (e.g., *giocare a calcio*). Remember that *sport* stays the same in singular and plural, so you never add an -i ending.
